Facebook has millions of active users and a majority of them are sharing their personal information and uploading photographs of themselves and share them with their friends and other members. Facebook, just like any other social networking sites can pose a threat to its members.
Having your personal information available online, you are making yourself more susceptible from being victimized. It is up to you how much information you would like to provide but you must remember that all information provided can be used as hints to find you. This is particularly dangerous especially to young members who could easily be manipulated by unknown members as it is very easy to sign up. Also, you could post yourself to be just anybody and because facebook is a social networking site similar to Craigslist, having a new friend request does not seem all that extraordinary and you could easily gain access to private photos and information. Adding your school or company name would make it a lot easier for anyone to find you. And with posting those information online, you?re just inviting trouble to come and get you.
So, make sure you only provide your information that wouldn’t make you an easy target. These social networking sites make it a lot easier for criminals to catch their prey so everybody must be aware of this silent danger. Read more controversial articles on http://www.e-controversy.com/

As Bebo.com continues to grow in popularity, more public places, such as schools, will begin to block the social networking website. There are certain steps that you should take in the event that you decide to access Bebo on a public server by using a proxy connection. There are many types of proxies out there and you need to know where the quality proxies are and how to use them.
The most important thing to remember is that many of these website based proxies are new and will not last long. These types of websites may try to monitor your activities, by logging passwords and such, to use once they close the website down. These types of proxies are not considered quality proxies and should only be used when absolutely necessary.
Another important thing is that you should use proxy numbers from trusted countries. Using proxies based in countries that could be classified as “third world” are not recommended. Proxies based in Communist states, such as China, are not recommended as well. Keep this in mind as you find a quality proxy to compliment with your Bebo usage.
The best way to find a quality proxy is to take some time out of your day and search. If you use proxies often, you should search for trusted services that will protect your privacy.

There have been recent rumors of a Facebook buyout by several companies, including Microsoft, Google, and others. With Microsoft and Google engaged in a technology battle, it isn’t a surprise to see these companies rumored to be involved with a buyout of the company. Microsoft, for instance, already owns a minority stake in the company.
Yahoo has even been rumored to be interested in buying out the company. This comes as an interesting note considering that Microsoft is currently trying to purchase Yahoo. With that being said, if Yahoo was to somehow acquire Facebook, Microsoft could eventually end up with both Facebook and Yahoo at a good value. While the Yahoo rumors have been silent for well over a year, here is still a possibility that a situation like this could happen.
Another possible buyer of Face book would be Viacom. Viacom has been leaked, lastly in 2006, of being interested in the website. Viacom would be interested in purchasing Facebook to compete with News Corporation, which owns the MySpace social networking service.
Google would have a lot of interest in purchasing Facebook. As Google already owns Orkut, a very popular social networking website, they would combine it with Facebook. By doing this, they would jump to the very top of the social networking market. With the technology that Google has at its disposal, the possibilities for the social networking scene would be nearly unlimited.
Finally, Microsoft would benefit from a complete acquisition of the Facebook company. This would further their Live system and would give them more dominance over the internet world.
